Was that tay-vay or teh-veh?

Yesterday, we went to the zoo. Debrecen has a very nice zoo, especially for its size. We saw all sorts of animals, calling them by their Hungarian names. One that is our favorite is the viziló, or literally, water horse. The hippos were quite active and fun to watch.

We had very good communications with people all day long. There was only one slip-up. Nancy asked another visitor where the camels were. The visitor looked rather confused at first but then said she had not seen them yet and did not know where they were. Afterwards, Nancy realized she must have said tévé (tay-vay--TV) instead of teve (teh-veh--camel). At least the visitor understood and was helpful. We saw her later and she pointed us to where the teve was!
